COMMON AREAS - LAWN CARE UPDATE: Total Lawn Care has advised that the common area’s lawn was not damaged as a result of fertilizing. The brown grass is dormant, but the roots are healthy and will turn green once it rains. Should the lawn not turn green the company has agreed to re-seed as needed.

GOOGLE TRANSLATOR ADDED: Good news! Benjamin Crossing website content can now be translated into a different language thanks to the Google Translator. We understand that English is a second language for many of our homeowners/residents and hope this addition will make accessing and understanding the website a little easier.

If you see any activity in the parks after dusk, please contact the Sheriff's Department or WeTip. You don't have to be on the Neighborhood Watch Committee to curb vandalism and gang activity in our parks. Help is just a click or phone call away!

What is WeTip and how does it work?

The Tippecanoe County supports WeTip! WeTip is a national nonprofit organization, staffing tip operators that take anonymous tips from all 50 states including Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.  For over 33 years, WeTip has taken over 411,000 tips. These Tips are always anonymous.  WeTip never knows who you are.  The hotlines are answered by bilingual tip operators, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

WeTip forwards the information you provide to the Sheriff's office or other local law enforcement agency.  It is up to law enforcement to decide the best course of investigative action to take at that point. This isn't a substitute for calling 911 in a real emergency. If you witness a crime in progress or if you or someone you know is in immediate peril, calling 911 in an emergency is the best response.
